If you love playing sports outdoors, you'll want to make sure that your rash guard is always in its best condition. But even with careful use, you may end up with rouge stains – especially if you play activities like paintball or laser tag. But there's no need to worry; here are our tried-and-tested steps for getting rid of those pesky rouge stains on your rash guard.

Step 1: Soak Stain

Begin by soaking the stained area in warm water with a tablespoon of detergent for about 30 minutes. This will help loosen up the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 2: Put Vinegar on the Stain

Take a clean cloth and dip it in a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts cold water. Dab this solution onto the stained area and let it sit for 5 minutes. The vinegar will work to break down rouge and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain

Using a damp cloth, scrub the stained area gently but firmly. This will help get rid of any remaining rouge particles and may also help lift the stain.

Step 4: Rinse the Rash Guard

Once you’re done scrubbing stain, rinse the rash guard thoroughly under cold running water. Make sure to remove all traces of soap, detergent and vinegar before moving on to next step.

Step 5: Wash the Rash Guard

To remove any remaining residue from the cleaning process, toss the rash guard into the washing machine. Set it on a delicate wash cycle and use cold water for the rinse cycle.

Step 6: Air-Dry the Rash Guard

Once the wash cycle is complete, hang the rash guard out to dry. Avoid using the dryer, as this may cause the stain to set in and become more difficult to remove. Allow the rash guard to air-dry completely before storing it away.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can easily and effectively remove rouge stains from your rash guard. With an extra bit of care and attention, you can keep your rash guard looking and smelling fresh for longer!
